Roger Lloyd-Pack dead: Only Fools star Trigger dies from pancreatic cancer aged 69 | Daily Mail Online comments Roger Lloyd-Pack has died aged 69: The Only Fools And Horses star died of pancreatic cancer on Wednesday night Charming and brilliant, passionate about Left-wing causes and with ambitions to play King Lear, Roger Lloyd Pack was nothing like the dim-witted street-sweeper Trigger he played in Only Fools And Horses. But the actor, who has died aged 69, will forever be fondly remembered as the Only Fools character whose idiotic reflections on life would invariably reduce TV audiences to helpless laughter. His agent Maureen Vincent said he had suffered from pancreatic cancer and had died at home surrounded by his family. The BBC said that he had been too unwell to appear in the one-off new episode of Only Fools which is due to be broadcast this March, in which most of the old cast will be reunited. Sir David Jason, Del Boy in the series, regretted his absence and told yesterday of his ‘fondness’ for his sitcom co-star. ‘I was very saddened to hear of Roger’s passing,’ he said.

‘He was a very quiet, kind and unassuming actor who was a pleasure to work with. ‘Although he played the simple soul of Trigger in Only Fools And Horses, he was a very intelligent man and a very fine actor capable of many roles. I shall remember him for all the good times we had together.’ Father Ted creator Graham Linehan was also among those who paid tribute. He said: ‘Trigger was an ancestor to [the even more dim-witted] Father Dougal and I’m glad I once had a chance to tell him so.’ RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share John Challis, best known as Boycie in Only Fools, was distraught, saying: ‘I spoke to Roger two days ago. It is very sad and very distressing. ‘My thoughts are with his family. He was a remarkable man and he’ll be missed. Roger is irreplaceable.

It’s a very sorry day.’ Tribute: Sir David Jason played tribute to his comic co-star, seen here in one of the show's most memorable scenes, when Del Boy fell through the bar Much loved show: Lloyd-Pack starred in the show which was loved by all the family Lloyd Pack was classically trained at Rada and made his TV debut in 1968, aged 22, but it wasn’t until he appeared in Only Fools And Horses in 1981 that he became a household name. He appeared in The Vicar Of Dibley and in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, and in recent years he had performed on stage numerous times, including the Shakespeare plays Richard III and Twelfth Night at the Globe and a run of Chekhov’s The Seagull. Acting family: Seen here in The Naked Civil Servant in 1975 Yet he always knew he would be best known as Trigger. ‘It’s both a blessing and a curse,’ he said of his role as the road-sweeper. ‘It’s extraordinary to me as an actor to find oneself in a sitcom that’s been successful and goes on being successful...

I can’t go anywhere without anyone going on about it.’ Fame took its toll on his family, he admitted. ‘I think being an actor has been hard for my children. Although I was at home a lot, particularly when they were young, I think having a famous father is difficult. It can be embarrassing and annoying for the kids.’ Lloyd Pack’s daughter Emily took to the stage herself and shot to fame in the 1987 film Wish You Were. But her success was short-lived – for years she has struggled with health problems, a fact that caused her father anguish. Lloyd Pack was born into an acting family in North London and his father Charles was a regular in Hammer horror films. Born in 1944, Roger’s earliest memories were of playing among bombed-out houses after the Blitz. He wasn’t close to his father, and had therapy to try to reconcile himself to their relationship. He said: ‘He wasn’t very good at being a dad to boys, and found it hard to deal with my irrepressible teenage energy, my personality. He could be very remote. He could get very angry. I remember a very big row between him and Mum [Ulrike, a travel agent], which was very upsetting.

I try not to be judgmental. But it’s hard not to be.

Trigger: No, I haven't met the right person yet, but I've always had this sort of image of my perfect woman, sort of my dream girl. Denzil: What's she like? Roger Lloyd-Pack as Trigger Trigger: Oh she's nothing to look at, very plain, little scar on her chin where she had a wart removed. Trigger: You knew my Grandad Arthur, didn't you, Mr Trotter? Grandad: Yeah, I knew Arthur alright. Trigger: He was a smashing man, he took care of me when my mum went. Rodney: Where was your Dad? Trigger: He died a couple of years before I was born. Trigger: Problems, Dave? Rodney: You mean that's your costume? Trigger: Yeah, I came as a chauffeur.

I feel a bit stupid now. Rodney: Yeah, you do stand out. Del Boy: How long you had that brush now Trigger? Trigger: Twelve years Del, but it's had seven new handles and ten new heads. Rodney: Oi Del, why'd they call him Trigger? Does he carry a gun or something? Del Boy: Nah, it's 'cos he looks like a horse. Trigger: When we was at school Del was the best at Chemistry. He used to sell home-made fireworks. He even blew up the science lab once. Denzil: Yes I remember. I was doing detention in there at the time. Mike: Don't try and be funny with me, Trigger. I'll tell you this much, I've had certificates for my beer. Trigger: Yeah, I've had a few days off work with it as well! Del: You're going on your holidays Tuesday, ain't yer? Trigger: Yeah, I'm Looking forward to that Del. I've been under a bit of pressure lately, what with me Gran in hospital and me [sic] case being adjourned. It'll be nice to get away from it all. I'm gonna live it up a bit.

Disco's nightclubs, golden beaches, blue skies. Rodney: Sounds Great Trig, where'y going? Trigger: Ireland! Rodney: You see, it's fossil fuels! People do not realise the damage they're doing to this planet. Trigger: I don't have none of them in my house, I use gas and oil. Rodney: Trig, they are fossil fuels! Trigger: Are they? Well, I'll switch to coal in future! ‘I was so determined not to pass on to my children what I perceived to be the faults of my upbringing. But, like Larkin said, you just **** ’em up.’ He married Emily’s mother Sheila, who was playwright Harold Pinter’s PA, in 1968. Lloyd Pack was 24 and, he said, ‘a bit lost’. ‘It was the Sixties – a bit of sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll. My career was going nowhere – I was doing the odd movie or bit of TV. My wife at the time wanted to be married, and there was a pressure to join the grown-ups. I was trapped – I completely lost a sense of who I was.

I shouldn’t have got married.’ Emily was two when Roger walked out on Sheila. The separation was acrimonious, and he found it hard to be a part of his daughter’s life. Emily became famous as a teenager with her leading role in Wish You Were Here but suffered a breakdown and years of mental illness.

In an interview in 2011 he said: ‘Certain things that have affected Emily wouldn’t have happened if I had remained there. 'I tried to keep in touch with Emily as much as I could.

But that wasn’t always easy, partly because of the difficulties in the relationship with her mum, and partly because I’d be away acting.’ Certainly Emily’s difficulties were severe. She hasn’t worked since 2003, when she performed as Ophelia in Hamlet. She released a book about her troubles last year saying that she believed that she had conquered her demons. She has struggled with insomnia, depression, Tourettes and obsessive compulsive disorder. She also said that she was abused by a babysitter and that she has self-harmed and attempted suicide as an adult.

But, in the end, you are on your own in life, although you’re always lumbered with your parents.

That’s something you can’t escape.’ It was in 2000 that Lloyd Pack married for a second time, to the poet and dramatist Jehane ‘Jan’ Markham, whom he described as his soul mate – they had been dating for 25 years and already had three sons, Spencer, Hartley and Louis. ‘We’d lived together successfully for quite a while, so we didn’t want to rock the boat by getting married,’ he explained. ‘But, on a practical level, it’s easier to be married as you get older.’ Yesterday, Jan said: ‘What can I say? I was his wife, he was my husband. I loved him very much and will miss him dearly.’ And so will an entire nation.

He had been been suffering from pancreatic cancer and passed away on Wednesday night. He began his acting career in 1965, and appeared in a number of roles on television in the 1970s including turns in Dickson of Dock Green and Survivors.

However, he became a household name in 1981 after being cast in John Sullivan's smash hit sitcom as Colin "Trigger" Ball. Appearing alongside Del Boy (David Jason) and Rodney Trotter (Nicholas Lyndhurst) in almost every episode of Only Fools and Horses, his slow but loveable road sweeping character became one of the best-known and best-loved in the series. He remained in the cast of Fools and Horses until its final episode in 2003. As well as playing Trigger, Llloyd-Pack is remembered by comedy fans for his role as the dimwitted Owen Newitt in Dawn French's BBC sitcom The Vicar of Dibley, which began in 1994. He also played Tom Finnan in Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain's comedy The Old Guys between 2009 and 2010. Younger viewers may know him best as the ruthless ministry of Magic official Barty Crouch Sr in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - as well as for his performances in Doctor Who during David Tennant's time at the control panel of the TARDIS.

Outside of acting Lloyd-Pack was known for his left wing activism, and campaigned for Ken Livingstone in his failed London Mayoral electorial bid in 2012. He leaves his second wife Jehane Markham as well as four children, three sons and his only daughter, the actress Emily Lloyd. But no story about Roger Lloyd-Pack - nor Trigger - would be complete without this classic moment from Only Fools and Horses history, regularly voted one of the best moments in British comedy history.

Reblog Roger Lloyd-Pack's funeral led by Sir David Jason, Nicholas Lyndhurst and Emily Lloyd | Daily Mail Online comments It has been more than 30 years since they first had the nation in stitches. But yesterday there were tears as well as laughter as the stars of Only Fools and Horses were reunited in mourning for their much-loved friend Roger Lloyd Pack. The actor, who lost his fight against pancreatic cancer at 69 last month, was best-known for his role as the dim-witted road-sweeper Trigger.

Farewell: Only Fools And Horses star Sir David Jason (L) joined actress Emily Lloyd for the funeral of her father, the actor Roger-Lloyd Pack, in London on Thursday Final journey: Lloyd-Pack's coffin is driven through the church gates ahead of the service on Thursday afternoon In loving memory: The coffin begins its final journey on Thursday afternoon Much loved: Roger Lloyd-Pack, pictured on the red carpet in June 2013 (L) and in his Only Fools And Horses pomp as Trigger (R) True to the spirit of his larger-than-life character, his coffin arrived in a bubblegum pink hearse. Although Lloyd Pack was a Rada-educated theatre actor, friends at his funeral joked that he never quite could shake off his comedy alter ego. Leading the cast of former co-stars at the service was Sir David Jason – aka Del Boy – who arrived in a navy Barbour-style jacket. RIP: The Order of Service for the funeral of actor Roger Lloyd-Pack, who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on January 15 Smiling bravely at well-wishers, the 74-year-old embraced fellow stars before making his way into St Paul’s - the actors’ church - in London’s Covent Garden.

Also in attendance were John Challis, 71, and Sue Holderness, 64, who played Boycie and Marlene, as well as Nicholas Lyndhurst, 52, who played Rodney and arrived wearing a cream Mackintosh and baseball hat. The old friends sat at the back of the church and comforted each other as more than 400 mourners filled the building. When carried into church by Lloyd Pack’s sons, the coffin was topped by a grey trilby - one of his favourites. Speaking during the service, old college friend Ken Cranham, star of the 80s sitcom Shine on Harvey Moon, said their relationship was ‘completely based on laughter’. Childhood friend Richard Hayward said the actor was much-loved in his neighbourhood of Kentish Town, North London, for his humour and kindness. Lloyd Pack - who also played Owen Newitt in comedy The Vicar of Dibley - was active in local campaigns around the Hampstead area. Mr Hayward said: ‘You don’t create a Trigger or an Owen Newitt by acting. They’re in the hearts of millions because of who Roger was.

Because of that love and generosity and humour that he brought to them and quite literally radiated from them.’ Other speakers included his widow Jehane Markham, his son Hartley Lloyd Pack and daughter Emily Lloyd. At the funeral were actor Nigel Havers, Gwyneth Strong, who played Cassandra in Only Fools, Paul Barber who played Denzil and Tessa Peake-Jones who played Raquel. Actresses Vanessa Redgrave and Joely Richardson also came to pay their respects. Lloyd Pack’s coffin was carried out of the church to the sound of Death Is Not The End by Bob Dylan. Friend Nicci Gerrard said during the service: ‘His last words were that he was fine. And he was fine. A very fine and much-missed man.’ Many of those in attendance had shared screen time with Lloyd-Pack, whose extensive career stretched back to the late sixties. Amongst them was Miranda Richardson, who arrived at the church with fond memories of the actor she starred alongside in 2010 drama Made In Dagenham. Irish star Stephen Rea was also spotted making his way inside.

The actor, best known for his role in The Crying Game, appeared alongside Lloyd-Pack in a revival of Harold Pinter's A Celebration.

Well-known for his rubbery face and lugubrious delivery, he also appeared as Owen Newitt in The Vicar of Dibley. Born in north London in 1944, he was the son of actor Charles Lloyd Pack and the father of actress Emily Lloyd. His agent, Maureen Vincent, said he had pancreatic cancer and "died at home surrounded by his family". Sir David Jason spoke of his sadness at the news, calling his co-star "a very quiet, kind and unassuming actor who was a pleasure to work with". "Although he played the simple soul of Trigger in Only Fools and Horses, he was a very intelligent man and a very fine actor capable of many roles," continued the actor, who played Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter in the show. "I shall remember him with fondness and for all the good times we had together." Image caption Lloyd Pack considered his Only Fools role "both a blessing and a curse" Nicholas Lyndhurst, who played Del Boy's younger brother Rodney, said he was "so saddened to hear about Roger". "He was the most accomplished actor and loved by millions.

I will miss him greatly." A versatile character actor who was at home with both comedy and drama, Lloyd Pack studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada) before making his stage debut in Northampton. After appearances in The Avengers and other TV shows, his screen debut came in 1968 when he played a small part in The Magus. His breakthrough came in 1981 when he was cast as Colin 'Trigger' Ball, the dim but amiable roadsweeper who always called Lyndhurst's character "Dave". "If it's a girl they're calling her Sigourney after an actress," he said of Del Boy's child-to-be. "And if it's a boy they're naming him Rodney, after Dave." Lloyd Pack was the only actor, apart from Lyndhurst and Jason, to appear in both the first and last episode of the much-loved sitcom. Its success would lead the actor to call his role "both a blessing and a curse" and express bemusement about his popularity with audiences.

Image caption The actor starred as farmer and council-member Owen Newitt in Vicar of Dibley, which ran for almost as many years as Only Fools and Horses 'It's extraordinary to me as an actor to find oneself in a sitcom that's been successful and goes on being successful," he said. "I can't go anywhere without anyone going on about it." His last appearance as Trigger came in the show's 2003 Christmas special. The BBC had hoped he would make an appearance in the sketch show later this year for Sport Relief, but he was too unwell. In recent years he was seen at the Shakespeare's Globe, appearing alongside Mark Rylance and Stephen Fry in its production of Richard III and Twelfth Night. A committed socialist, he campaigned for nuclear disarmament and was a supporter of Left Unity, a recently formed "radical political party of the left". PANCREATIC CANCER The pancreas is a large gland, which makes digestive juices and the hormone insulin. Around 8,800 people a year in the UK get pancreatic cancer. More than 80% of cases are diagnosed in people aged 60 and over. Little is understood about the causes.

Early symptoms include loss of appetite and back pain. Later symptoms can include diabetes, sickness, bowel changes, fever and shivering. Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery John Challis, who appeared as Boycie in Only Fools, said the news was "very sad and very distressing" and that Lloyd Pack was "irreplaceable". "My thoughts are with his family," said the actor. "He was a remarkable man and he'll be missed." Father Ted creator Graham Linehan was among others to pay tribute, saying it was "very sad news". "Trigger was an ancestor to Father Dougal and I'm glad I once had a chance to tell him so," he said on Twitter . James Corden called him an " incredible actor and person ", while Lord Sugar tweeted that Trigger had been "one of my favourite characters". Shane Allen, the BBC's controller of comedy commissioning, said: "The nation bids a fond and sad farewell to one of the most popular television sitcom actors of his generation." His death was also marked by CND, who marked his death by posting a picture of the actor campaigning against Trident, and by Tottenham Hotspur, the London football club he supported.

"We're saddened to learn of the death of Spurs fan Roger Lloyd Pack," it said in a tweet . "The Club extends our condolences to his friends and family."
